Peaches and Brown Sugar Sheet Cake {Great with Nectarines too!}

Nectarines or peaches play so nicely with the warm flavor of brown sugar in this simple sheet cake.  Add a little browned butter glaze for an out of this world flavor combination! 

   Whip up this warm brown sugar Texas sheet cake base with lovely peaches baked right in.  It is a simple cake batter to make, no fancy tools required. In fact you make it in a saucepan.  Then bake it to golden deliciousness and drizzle it with a tasty glaze.  The combination of textures and flavors is amazing and it's sized to feed a crowd!

   This scrumptious little beauty combines two of our favorite things lately; cooking with stone fruit and sheet cake.  The results were amazing!

    The peaches and nectarines have been so good lately, I can't help but buy some every chance I get.  This time I reached for the peaches, but nectarines work in this just as well. 

 
   I have made this several times now and both are fabulous. So just use whatever you have on hand.  

 
    I wanted to bring in some of the warm flavors of fall, but still highlight this late summer fruit.  So, I tweaked the recipe for White Texas Sheet Cake to include the warmer flavors of brown sugar and a hint of cinnamon.  

 
    I wanted to make a sheet cake in the tradition of the Texas sheet cake.  So, the batter was made on the stove top.  Just boil the butter and water and whisk in everything else. 

   Then I arranged thinly sliced nectarines tossed in cinnamon and corn starch all over the top.  While I like the look of slices, small cubes are easier to eat and serve.  

 
    Plus chopping and sprinkling the bits over the batter is super quick. Gently arranging thin slices of fruit over the batter takes a little longer. Obviously both ways taste great!

        This cake smelled so good as it baked.  Once it was mostly cooled, I drizzled some brown butter glaze over the top.  The rest is history!  

 
     As with any sheet cake, this is perfect for a potluck or party. The fruit makes it perfect for summer bbqs as well.

    It isn't fussy, but it tastes great and feeds a crowd. One taste of the brown butter glaze melding with the cake and everyone will be hooked. 

 

    Leftovers are good for several days on the counter. Pieces of cake can be frozen in airtight containers for several months.  

 
The glaze on the thawed pieces of cake may get a little sticky, but will still test amazing.  So any leftovers don't have to go to waste.
